Industrial Handling

INDUSTRIAL HANDLING

PI System Automation has a solution for all your automated handling issues.

Based on your requirements, we research, create and integrate automated handling systems.

We offer you a global solution which combines equipment performance, personnel safety and component durability.

Continuous handling of individual loads

Via our experience in the individual load handling sector we can handle numerous applications:

Continuous handling of bulk products

We design and make conveyors specially adapted to bulk handling:

  • Trough belt conveyors, screw conveyors, elevators to suit all types of materials.
  • Vibrating conveyors, screw conveyors, hoppers for weighing, dosing and storage
  • We research and recommend solutions that meet your requirements and that perfectly match your project specifications.

S’link, the automated transfer solution

In order to enhance its heavy product handling offer (1t to 1.5t), PI System Automation has developed the S’link range, specially adapted to the automated transfer of pallets at the end of line.

Innovations and commitments that make the difference

“Ready to use” equipment

We can deliver our equipment prewired. A standard or customised diagram in different file formats will be provided to connect you to terminals, drives, cells and sensors.

This will save you a huge amount of time during setup and you will be able to prepare the connection before installation. This is particularly relevant to the S’TURN turntable or the S’CROSS transfer where it is difficult to access sensors and actuators because of the compactness of the parts.

Start & Roll Technology

The START & ROLL technology is accessible and configurable for everyone and can accommodate our S’ROLL 1500+, S’CHAIN and S’TURN products.


As well as supplying you with prewired equipment, we also offer you the option of installing and defining its operating mode yourself with additional automation hardware. Lastly, we offer you the safety option of separate wiring.

Tips

For example: on all our turntables, our optional commutator can be coupled with the terminal connection in order to obtain a standard rotation of not just 90° but 360°.

Our warranty

We guarantee all our equipment for 24 months against manufacturing faults or material defects. This is within the context of normal operation, including the date of delivery on site.
Bringing your business peace of mind.

Universal products

We ensure availability of spare parts for our products to avoid unnecessary storage.
In addition, we target so-called standard equipment with a set of common parts. Therefore the rollers used on the S’ROLL 1500 are identical to those used on S’TURN, S’CROSS, S’TRANS and S’ELEV products.
That means you have the same type of spare roller to install on all your modules that make up your installation.
